Pipeline Development (ETL/ELT)
Design and build scalable GCP pipelines for data ingestion, transformation, and analytics. Ensure high performance and reliability with embedded data quality checks supporting reporting and BI use cases.
Data Modeling & Processing
Develop and optimize data models (40–100 reporting tables/domain). Support historical loads and incremental processing with strong focus on data accuracy, consistency, and performance.
Legacy Modernization & BI Enablement
Drive migration of legacy reporting platforms (SSRS, SAP BO, Micro Strategy) to Power BI and modern BI tools.
